Heres just a few of pictures of flights I've been on. Sorry for the bad quality I am not a photographer and I only have a small camera.

Blurry wing picture.


My favorite picture. Out the boom window with boom down (Refueling mission was canceled.)

C-130 Loadmasters chillin.


Me sitting in a F-16 cockpit.



Hope you liked my low quality pictures =]
Next time I'll try to get a better camera.

Nice shots.
Very interesting.

Very nice. 8-)

Some nice shots from angles we do not often get to see.
As for quality, they are fine. I would rather see a picture from this sort of subject that was not perfect than nothing at all.

Great shots!  Don't worry about image quality. I feel your pain.  Welcome to the forum and keep posting!

Given the subject matter, snapshot quality is more than good enough! thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the replys.

But the inside of a military aircraft, if you know what I'm talking about is very LOUD. There is no insulation or sound dampening material like in a commercial aircraft. Imagine if you've ever been in a Cessna, that like times 10.

I think I have a few other picture I've taken on base. I'll try to post as many of the U// pictures I have.

I might have a few pictures of ordinance, 500lb JDAM, AMRAAM, and the new AIM-9X. But I think I should ask someone if I can before I post them haha.

Quality of picture is just fine, first hand photos with a camera that doesnt cost an arm and a leg are sometimes better for shots than an expensive, professionally done shot, gives the pic some personality!

And I know what you mean about the sound, military aircraft aren't built for comfort, basically you are just cargo, it's cold, loud and uncomfortable, and I wouldnt trade it for a first class ticket on an A380!!!!

Semper Fi!!!!!!!!

Worst trip of my life............Goose Bay, to Germany in the back of a C130. 14 hours of droning vibration. I though it would never end.

I bet you'd have swapped that for an A380! Or a VC10...

I can believe it... spent 20 minutes in a B-17 once, and although I was having a ball, I can see how several hours might diminish the novelty a little.

One of the old-timers aboard for that flight told me it reminded him of the time he shipped home from Europe in WWII aboard a C-47... said the cold was worse than the noise.
